Also different, water customers with dual meters will be charged the base rate for the larger meter, in lieu of both meters.

For sewer customers with dual meters, the same scenario applies, only with the smaller meter.

"Both our water and sewer customers are going to see about an 8 percent increase in their volumetric use rate," says Kramer.

Base rates for sewer customers will remain the same.

To better help customers understand the rate change, the City of Columbia will have extended hours for its Customer Care Center. On the following dates the center will be open until 7:00 p.m.: Tuesday, April 16th, Thursday, April 18th, Monday, April 22nd and Wednesday April 24th.

Also, workshops to help customers will be held on the following dates: April 20th 8:30 a.m. - noon, June 8th 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. and June 22nd 8:30 a.m. - noon.
